WELCOME TO THE SUMMER ISLES HOTEL

The Summer Isles Hotel is renowned as an oasis of civilisation tucked away in the ruggedly beautiful, wild and untouched landscape of the Western Scottish Highlands. The hotel is a favourite destination for food lovers, outdoor adventurers and for those looking for peace, tranquillity and fresh air.

Our guests come here to embrace the beautiful wilderness of the surrounding islands and mountains. We have the Gulf Stream at the foot of the croft, but the weather can be anything from Arctic to Aegean inside a week.

Many of our guests travel with their canine friends which can really add to the joy of a few days in Achiltibuie. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and most or our bedrooms are dog friendly

It’s best to be prepared, so may we suggest some (or all) of the following – sunglasses, cameras, paint boxes, binoculars, midge cream, thermos flasks and comfortable old clothes. Pack your anorak for walking and your glad-rags for dinner!.

Discover Achiltibuie

Despite its remoteness, or perhaps because of it, Achiltibuie provides a remarkable number of activities and things to do.

The area is a walker’s paradise with a significant number of Munros within striking distance. You are never far from the sea which provides not only cliffs to walk on and beaches to explore but can also delight the sea-kayaker and the the photographer.

The landscape is truly awe-inspiring and the villages interesting. Go explore using the map below!

GUEST COMMENTS

I refer to the recent review headed up ' Great shame ' , I was actually in the bar at the beginning of the evening on the Friday quoted. Yes... read more the bar was lively and in my view was not over the top , however there was one individual who was becoming at best boisterous , and I assume would have become more loud and outspoken as the night went on. What I would like to place on record was that the bar staff are first class , I actually enjoyed three nights in the bar, before dinner , the staff were attentive , friendly and interesting people to talk to and are a credit to the hotel. The comments from the earlier guest , when referring to the staff were completely out or order . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a stunning location More

Firstly, the hotel is in a lovely position and the rooms are fine.
Regrettably, I arrived on a very rowdy Friday where the adjacent bar resembled the Wild West. Fights... read more and hours of diatribe expletives ensued and, to cap it, my car had £1500 pounds of 'bumped' damage by the morning!!
The poor staff, who all seem to be Eastern European, were, very much overwhelmed. I felt a bit for them.
There's no owner in sight or any local management staff so I guess the minimum wage prevails and, you get what you pay for! I just wish I hadn't paid £175+ for the privilege.

We live 20 miles away and used to visit this hotel and restaurant regularly, but haven't been for a while. We had a birthday lunch late August in the bar... read more restaurant and were very disappointed in the choice of food, starters of chicken wings and duck pate - neither of which were very good, followed by mussels. The mussels were cooked very well but there was no flavour. I looked at the evening menu for the main restaurant and saw a repeat of the lunch menu with a few additions. This used to be a top notch place to eat, delicious menus meaning you want to visit again - sadly its not anymore and we won't be eating there again. The only thing that saved it was the staff who were very good - table service, friendly and polite. We'd recommend him but not the chef! More

We were at the Summer Isles Hotel for several nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Large comfortable room (Mackay) with spectacular views. Really delicious food (we had breakfast... read more and dinner every day in the restaurant) with an emphasis on fresh local seafood and big portions (in some cases to the point of being wasteful, like the main course pot of mussels, and the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast). The staff team were superb, very professional and attentive without being stuffy. Achiltibuie is a wonderfully tranquil area and we will certainly be back. Our only suggestions are quite minor: it would be nice to have cut-up fresh fruit on the breakfast buffet instead of having to order it; in the bedroom it would be good to have better curtains so the early morning sun doesn't wake you up; and the tub and shower need some attention (dodgy shower seal for example). All easily dealt with. More

A couple days spent here. Restaurant and staff amazing. Room was excellent too. I highly recommend. A great place for quiet contemplation.
Rooms a generous size, WiFi, excellent bathroom... read more en suite facilities.
Quiet and refreshing change from big hotel chains

We went here after a vigorous walk, and had lunch. We were in the walkers restaurant and had fish and chips and a burger, both were very good. The room... read more itself was airy with good views. Would definitely revisit. More
